Bonnie Tyler

Please I loooove that song and I want a song that sounds like that and gives you the same feeling.

Please Btw that song was Bonnie Taylors Total eclipse of the heart.

Total Eclipse was written by Jim Steinman, so try some of the other songs he’s written, such as:

It’s All Coming Back To Me Now by Celine Dion (recently by Meat Loaf)

Makin’ Love Out Of Nothing At All by Air Supply

Holding Out For A Hero & Faster Than The Speed Of Night & Lovin’ You’s A Dirty Job But Someone’s Gotta Do It by Bonnie Tyler

Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad, Do Anything For Love But I Won’t Do That, For Crying Out Loud, (anything by ML from the Bat Out Of Hell Trilogy) by Meat Loaf

Left In The Dark by Barbara Steisand (though Jim Steinman’s own version is so raw it’s the much better version here).

Number 2

Does anyone know how to make a Hellogoodbye (music band) sounding synth, preferably in Garageband software? The synthesizer sound I’m looking for is evident in their songs such as "Bonnie Taylor Shakedown 2k4", "All Time Lows", and "All of Your Love". To know how to make a synth sounding like those used in the songs in any music software (preferably Garageband) would be excellent to know how to do. (The way I hear it, it sounds thick and playful, not at all harsh sounding.)
Other possible software can include Fruity Loops for example.

ask forrest.

What I’m asking it again?!?

‘Fraid so. The answers have been so helpful I have to ask again. I am working a on a book a children’s book of great female musicians (singers, composers, instrumentalists). Women who blazed the way for the female musicians of today. So I want nominations of Arabic legends, Eastern European legends, Greek legends, J-pop Legends; Percussionists, guitarists, composers, anyone you think is worthy to be in such a book etc.

Now to make it easier or harder here are some obvious choices I already submitted.

Ella Fitzgerald
Billie Holiday
Bessie Smith
Aretha Franklin
Bonnie Raitt
Etta James
Tina Turner
Koko Taylor
Joni Mitchell
Janis Joplin
Celia Cruz
Edith Piaf
Marlene Dietrich
Ofra Haza
Astrud Gilberto
Yumi Matsutoya
Faye Wong

Nominate 3 or more and list their country of origin. Only answers with three noms gets best answer. You can go to
http://www.pajamadancing.com/MPBpromo2.html
to see the full list of nominations and submit noms there too.

Okay this is like the coolest idea ever! I just followed the link and that is the hugest list of people nominated and so I have to add a few important people to that list.

1st off, what? No Miriam "Mama Africa" Makeba, she was South African singer and the most famous singer from Africa period.

Marcia Griffiths from Jamaica "The Queen of Reggae", she sang back up for Bob Marley and is huge solo star in Jamaica and the Caribbean

Bernadette from Australia she is "Queen of the Congo drums" and plays all kinds of percussion instruments. Look up her website to find out more.

Then there is Evelyn Glennie from Scotland who is a world famous percussionist who is also deaf.

I saw Faye Wong but where is Na-Ying or Sandy Lam?

How about Ayumi Hamasaki from Japan? She is one of the few female singers in Japan who has complete control over her career and music because the music industry there is very tightly controlled by big companies.

Hope that helps. If I think of any more I’ll e-mail you.

yes

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit
lonely and you’re never coming round
Turnaround, every now and then I get a
little bit tired of listening to the
sound of my tears
Turnaround, every now and then I get a
little bit nervous that the best of all the
years have gone by
Turnaround, every now and then I get a
little bit terrified and then I see the
look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you’ll only hold me tight
We’ll be holding on forever
And we’ll only be making it right
Cause we’ll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don’t know what to do and I’m always in the dark
We’re living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I’m only falling apart
There’s nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/bVN ]
But now there’s only love in the dark
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit
restless and I dream of something wild
Turnaround, every now and then I get a
little bit helpless and I’m lying like a
child in your arms
Turnaround, every now and then I get a
little bit angry and I know I’ve got
to get out and cry
Turnaround, every now and then I get a
little bit terrified but then I see the
look in you eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you’ll only hold me tight
We’ll be holding on forever
And we’ll only be making it right
Cause we’ll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don’t know what to do and I’m always in the dark
We’re living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I’m only falling apart
There’s nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
